Re: Wiper wiring routing, help? WAS: How to remove padded dash?
 

;-)

There is an oval slot in the top of the cowl that the plug and harness
fit through just inboard of the front clamps. You have to lower the
windshield to get to it.

Re: Wiper wiring routing, help? WAS: How to remove padded dash?
 

Arugh. Thanks. Any chance you could give me a couple of locating
measurements so I can cut the currently non-existing hole in it's rightful
place? Right n" from the side of the cowl, n" in from the dash? It is
one of the holes not made in my Replitub.

On the other hand the tub, grill, roll bar and windshield is on and bolted
down, the seats are in, the wiring is half done, the vacuum plumbing is
complete, and the new windshield glass was installed yesterday. Getting
close. I think I'll order a Sailcloth replace-a-top today.

Which brings me to my next problem: Anyone know of a source for a
drilling giude for the OEM top hardware? I've no holes or locations for
the top bow bracket, the door frame holes or all the snap locations.

Should be fun....
